Herein we report an improved self-assembling phosphorus ligand based on hydrogen bonding between pyridone/hydroxypyridine in the backbone. The N-pyrrolyl substituents significantly improve π-backbonding properties of ligand. Rhodium, iridium and platinum complexes were prepared analyzed by NMR spectroscopy x-ray crystal structure analysis. A catalyst this showed very high catalytic activity lin...

A series of water-soluble Rh(i) mononuclear complexes of general formula: [Rh(sulphsal-X-R)(COD)] [sulphsal = sulphonated salicylaldimine, COD = cyclooctadiene; where R = H, Cl, CH3 and X = H, (t)Bu] have been synthesized. All the compounds were characterised using various spectroscopic and analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, single crys...
